Guns N’ Roses set to return to Ireland next summer as Dublin date announced

The rock icons are set to perform at Dublin’s 3Arena on Wednesday, June 10, as part of the European leg of their tour.

After the world tour last year, the band, consisting of Axl Rose, Duff McKagan, Slash, Dizzy Reed, Richard Fortus, Isaac Carpenter, and Melissa Reese, will hit the road again over spring and summer next year.

The 31-date tour will feature performances in the UK, Poland, Ireland, the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, and France over June and July 2026.

Ticket prices for the Dublin date start from €98.25, including a booking fee, and will go on sale at 9am on Friday, November 28, via Ticketmaster, with booking being subject to 12.5pc service charge per ticket.

The Nightrain Fan Club members will have first access to tickets, with their presale beginning at 9am tomorrow, November 25, while the MCD presale will kick off at 9am on Thursday, November 27.

The band will also release two new songs, Nothin and Atlas, on Tuesday, December 2, marking their first releases since 2023 and adding to the concert setlists featuring all the classic hits and fan favourites.

Their previous shows in Ireland include Marlay Park in 2022, Slane Castle in 2017, and The O2, now 3Arena, in 2012.

It comes as one of their past Irish dates was surrounded by controversy, as during the Dublin gig at The O2 in 2010, the band’s frontman, Axl Rose, walked off stage after unruly fans fired plastic glasses at the band.

The band, known for hits such as Sweet Child of Mine and Welcome to the Jungle, released six studio albums in total, including G N’ R Lies in 1988, Use Your Illusion I and Use Your Illusion II, both in 1991.

Guns N’ Roses’ debut album Appetite For Destruction from 1987 remains the “best-selling US debut album ever”, and was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame last year.

One of the most-streamed rock bands in the world, with an average of 27 million monthly listeners on Spotify, is still going strong, as their world tour last year sold 1.3 million tickets around the world and marked the band’s largest run to date.
